Memo to the Planning Commission/P 96-13 February 25, 1997 Page 4 • • Lots 15 and 16 of Block 4, also have a large storm water pond in the rear yard that basically slopes away from the back of the house right down to the pond. These lots that have a newly created pond should maintain 125 feet of lot depth before beginning the slope down into the pond. • Lot 24, Block 4, does not appear to be very desirable and probably should be eliminated from the plat. • The cul-de-sac for 193rd should be redesigned allowing the street to cul-de- sac basically within the existing right-of-way. This will allow the property to the south the opportunity to subdivide at a later date also. Park and Recreation Recommendation The Park and Recreation Commission discussed the proposed plat on December 11, 1996, (see attached minutes). The Commission suggested the following: • providing a sidewalk along Proctor Avenue • consider cul-de-sacing the road leaving LaFayette Woods from the north into the proposed plat. Recommendation • Staff is prepared to offer two recommendations for the Commission to consider. First of all, the Planning Commission could approve the preliminary plat with the following conditions: 1. Comments from the City Engineer's memo dated November 20, 1996, be incorporated into the plat for approval. 2. A developer's agreement be prepared and executed prior to recording the plat with Sherburne County. This agreement shall outline the terms and conditions for plat approval as well as improvements. 3. Recommendations from the Park & Recreation Commission be incorporated into the plat. These recommendations include a park dedication payment in the amount required by the city at the time of final plat, as well as dedicating land for a 30' trail corridor in the southwest corner of the development. 4. A water availability charge in the amount of$300 per lot be paid to Elk River Utilities prior to releasing the final plat for recording. The developer should check with Elk River Municipal Utilities for any additional charges relative to water connection fees. •
